Aloha mai, I am a Native Hawaiian Licensed Mental Health Therapist based in Hawai'i, with over 15 years of experience in counseling.
I’m deeply passionate about walking alongside others as they navigate life’s changes, challenges, and seasons of growth. I truly believe we all carry a deep inner strength and wisdom—sometimes we just need a little guidance to reconnect with it. Together, we can create space for healing, rediscovery, and a return to your true self and purpose.
My approach to therapy is grounded in a genuine client-centered connection, incorporating elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and strength-based therapy. I work collaboratively with each client to create a welcoming, safe, and non-judgmental space where we can explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Born and raised in Hawaii, I've had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I believe that each person is unique, which is why I tailor every session to meet the specific needs of my clients. It's both my goal and my honor to help others develop the tools they need to cope, heal, and ultimately thrive on their personal journeys.
